Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
<em>Non-disjunction occur as a result of lack of separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. </em>
As a result, the gametes (the daughter cells formed) produced end up having extra or lesser chromosomes as compared to a normal gamete.
When a gamete with extra chromosome fertilizes a normal gamete, the resulting offspring will have an extra chromosome (trisomy condition).
On the other hand, when a gamete with one less chromosome than normal fertilizes a normal gamete, the resulting offspring will have one less chromosome than normal offspring (monosomy condition).
Assuming a chromosome with Aa gene undergoes non disjunction during meiosis, the resulting gametes either contain both A and a chromosome or contain no chromosome at all.
If Aa gamete is fertilized by a normal haploid sperm (a), the resulting zygote will have the genotype Aaa.
If a gamete with no chromosome at all fertilizes a normal haploid sperm, the resulting offspring will have the genotype a.
Answer:
36
Explanation:
A two-point test-cross is a cross between an individual with a double heterozygote genotype and a homo-zygous recessive individual in order to determine the recombination frequency between two linked genes. In genetics, one map unit (m.u.) can be defined as the measure of the distance (i.e., genetic distance instead of physical distance) between genes for which one (1) product of meiosis in one hundred (100) is recombinant. In this case, 36 of the offspring have the recombinant phenotype, while the remaining 64 offspring are not recombinant, and therefore both genes are separated by 36 mu (64 + 36 = 100 >> 36 mu).
Taphonomists would probably conclude that hominins had scavenged meat from an animal carcass, they did not kill if fossil animal bones; did not contain stone cut marks, which are easily distinguishable from tooth marks.
Some characteristics that have distinguished hominins from other primates, living and extinct are their erect posture, bipedal locomotion, larger brains, and behavioral characteristics such as specialized tool use, and in some cases communication through language.<span />
Answer:
<u>Luteinizing hormone </u>(LH) stimulates Leydig cells to secrete testosterone
<u>Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)</u> stimulates Sertoli cells to secrete protein and other molecules required for spermatogenesis
Explanation:
Under the influence of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, the anterior pituitary releases luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In males, LH stimulates interstitial cells of testes (Leydig cell) to secrete the hormone testosterone. FSH acts indirectly to stimulate spermatogenesis by causing the release of androgen-binding protein (ABP) from the Sertoli cells. The function of ABP is to maintain the higher concentrations of testosterone to stimulate the final steps of spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules.
The answer is Parathyroid Hormone (PTH). Steroids reduce calcium
levels in the blood. This results in activation of the parathyroid hormone that
is essential in the metabolism of calcium
in the blood. PTH induces reabsorption of
calcium from bones to restore homeostasis
Ca2+ levels in the blood hence causing
osteoporosis. Osteoporosis causes an increased risk of bone fractures.
